Stan Heap wins JK Sprint Title
Those hours spent drawing up an orienteering map of Brunel based on street maps and aerial photographs paid off as Stan was crowned M16 JK Sprint Champion. He was joined on the top of the podium by Club Captain Neil Crickmore in his first year as an M55. Results can be found at http://www.sportident.co.uk/results/2017/JK2017/

We have a range of club kit available to purchase. To place an order or make an enquiry either email or talk to me at an event (Mike Turner in a white Mini).
